133/225/CLS AMG
I had my 172 for two years and 14,500 miles from new and I had no worries with it at all.
The only reason I sold it was due to me getting a new job that paid a lot more and allowed me the spare cash to buy a Megane 225 instead.
If I had the spare cash for another car I'd have another Clio 172/182 in a second!!
I would have only sold my 172 for something bigger/faster etc not for any other reason.
Buy a well looked after one and you'll have no worries.

I have the Cup, I'm thinking of selling due to a saftey factor.
I'm getting a little older, a little wises and a little more boring(er) i guess lol...
8 airbags + ABS + all the other saftey features would be nice!

Clio 182
Not got a 172 but I would only sell my 182 for something bigger now. but i'm expecting to keep my 182 now for at least 3 - 4 more years.
I didn't own mine to sell it cos it was a company car, but it went after 120,000 kms and three years because of my new Golf gti.
Was absolutely faultless in 3 years, did over 30,000 miles a year, lots of ring laps, and spent half its life on the autobahn doing 140 mph. Never broke down, although as it was sold the Cat had just gone on it, and with that and the brakes that needed doing it was getting on for 2500 euros worth of work. therefore be sure the cats either ok, or has been changed. backbox went on mine first, then i got the 4 k rattle from the centre box, and then the cat went, not sure if thats the usual, but i'd be careful.

not a reson for me as such but certainley a factor, i sold my cup to get a 225Cup megane with recaros still hardcore but with ASR,ESP,ABS 4-6 airbags, NCAP 5 star safety shell big 4pot brembo`s loads of high speed stability etc..
sold my 172MKII for something more exclusive and hardcore bought the cup, then sold the cup for the forthcoming megane and have bought an old vectra estate in the meantime. I did 40,000 miles in my First 172MKII (bought it brand new lost £6,000 in 20 months but got my money out of it in that time)
nothing went wrong.
i sold mine as i hated it and evrything it brought with it
oh and gearbox and clutch were on the way out oh and the big dent at the bottom of the door and the leather was wearing off the seat again oh and i needed something that was cheaper to run as i was doing 500 ish miles every weekend

Only sold mine as it was out of warranty in 3 months and done 38k miles with first MOT coming up, also was on original exhaust which would have prob needed replacing after winter. Didn't fancy paying £600 for the 3 year warranty extension as even if I'd kept it I would have only kept it for a year and I wouldn't have got any more for the car even with a warranty, Thought the idea of someone wanting to buy a 4 year old 172 with 50k miles would have made for a difficult sale, Also wanted a Titanium 2 x cup packed 182 so decided to go for it
I loved my 172 but it was the right time for a change imho

My Mk2 172's now hit 60K so i think it will be changed for either a low millage Clio trophy or a Megane F1 early next year.
